That sale was a huge win for Verizon to get out of thousands of miles of expensive land lines and keep their investment in wireless. I hope someone at Fairpoint has to do some explaining to their shareholders about the purchase they made for their future. In the next 10 years I'll be surprised if people still have land line service to their homes...

I can recall all the discussion with the Meredith board when they approved the deal. The people who spoke against the sale were right on. i spent an hour on the phone today with the billing department after listening to 5 different phone messages transferring me around to other rep's. They are not quite as bad as trying to find out why United Health is raising their drug levels and 200% to 250% drug cost increases. A 90 day supply of Prevacid is Going from level 2 to level 3 and the copay cost is going from $99 to $270.
If u have AARP better check what they are doing.
